10 Reasons to get Married in the Caribbean

November 3, 2008 – 3:59 pm

While browsing at magazines at our local Border’s, I came across a new magazine called “Caribbean Bride: The Ultimate Caribbean Wedding Guide”. It was launched last month out of Barbados. Caribbean Bride is one of a kind as there is no other like it in the Caribbean. It aims to be a one-stop-shop for everything wedding.

One of its articles give 10 reasons to get married in the Caribbean. They are very god and funny.

  1. Before you even get married you’re already on your honeymoon.
  2. You’ll have a golden tan before the ceremony.
  3. Your wedding cake is made with rum.
  4. You can have a second reception when you get home to show off all over again.
  5. Your fiancé’s aunt Esther who always refers to you as the “chunky bride” isn’t likely to shell out a little extra for the trip so she’ll just have to watch the webcast. Darn.
  6. No shoes required. You can get married barefoot on a beach with the waves hitting your ankles.
  7. No one’s ever heard of the chicken dance.
  8. The weather may be too warm to wear your great-grandmother’s astoundingly heavy brocade and beaded wedding dress she so wanted you to wear some day, bless her heart.
  9. There’s no need for a band. The sound of the waves is music to your ears!
  10. Celebrities do it.
No doubt these 10 “reasons” show that destination weddings offers you an opportunity to have a relaxed and unique wedding in a beautiful Caribbean setting.
And number 11 … If you choose to get Marry in Puerto Rico and you are a U.S. Citizen, you do not need to bring your passport.
While I love formal weddings too, I do a lot of destination weddings and they are very special.

Puerto Rico is a destination wedding dream, for good reason. Where else can you have your pick of setting (from pristine beach to ancient church to swank hotel), gourmet catering, and enough rum to keep the most disgruntled in-laws happy? Here is some useful information to help you plan your special day.

 

Destination weddings combine the intimacy and bliss of marriage with a terrific vacation experience. It’s no surprise that they’re so popular, and even less surprising that the Caribbean is such a favorite destination for wedding planners. Great climate, relaxed atmosphere, friendly people … it’s all here, right? Well, if you’re thinking of getting married in Puerto Rico, you get all that and a…

If you want to get married in Puerto Rico, there is nothing legal or technical stopping you, but you’ll need to plan ahead and get a few documents together, fill in a few forms and pay a few fees. 

Puerto Rico has two types of marriage ceremonies, civil and religious. The civil ceremony is the only one that has any legal standing. The civil ceremony requires that the couple have positive identification, such as a passport or birth certificate, a blood test, and wait three days from the filing of the paperwork to the ceremony itself.

Solymar & Jacob Part Deux

August 30, 2008 – 11:22 pm

 I have been experimenting with the use of a video light in place of the traditional flash and Solymar and Jacob volunteer to be my guinea pigs. So tonight we headed toward El Condado area of San Juan to do some night shooting. I must say I love the result. The quality of light is incredible. I was so excited about it that I could not wait to share with you some of the shots from tonight. So here they are…
